“October” is a track found on Alessia Cara’s 2019 EP entitled “This Summer”. As we know, the month of October is not actually a part of summer but rather the first month after its official end. And likewise this song is meant to symbolize the impending end of the summer season.
Or more to the point, Alessia penned this track whilst simultaneously being on tour (as the opening act for fellow Canadian musician Shawn Mendes) in the summer of 2019. She clearly enjoyed the experience thoroughly, especially from an interpersonal perspective. Thus the purpose of this track, in her own words, is to “encapsulate” the beautiful moments which highlighted this endeavor. And she does this not in terms of hardcore specifics but rather by capturing what she went through internally.
Lyrics:
5 AM, the moon went to sleep
Your friend speakin’ in tongues in the back seat
Just one little glance, I know what you mean somehow
We’re stealin’ moments, moments away
Why are we just not as good in the day?
Is it too soon to know if it’s too soon to say for now?
The bubble we’re livin’ in
Settin’ me free again
I don’t know what it is about this
I’m gonna miss it when it’s over, yeah, yeah
I hope we never see October, yeah, yeah
I felt the weight fall off my shoulders, yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m gonna miss this when it’s
I’m gonna miss you when it’s done
Can’t feel my hands, you laugh like you do
It happened like that accordin’ to you
It’s only a month, but doesn’t feel new somehow
Yeah, yeah
Bubble we’re livin’ in
Settin’ me free again
I don’t know what it is about this
I’m gonna miss it when it’s over, yeah, yeah
I hope we never see October, yeah, yeah
I felt the weight fall off my shoulders, yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m gonna miss this when it’s
I’m gonna miss
I’m gonna miss it when it’s over, yeah, yeah
I hope we never see October, yeah, yeah
I felt the weight fall off my shoulders, yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m gonna miss this when it’s
I’m gonna miss you when it’s done
Paint a picture in my brain, encapsulate the fleetin’ feelin’
It ricochets, replace my pain ’til every trace is leavin’
The nerve of autumn time, days flyin’ by, every sunrise healin’ me
And we’re okay, we’ll live this way ’til it’s done
